Get the vacuum out:lol-sign: I wanted two corgis but my husband said no to the additional hair that I'm covered with. Thank goodness I have a central vac. But she's sooooo worth it. Corgi love forever.

Oooooooh, I love these pics, I love my Corgi. Thanks for the butt shot, I got a good laugh out of that one.

Hi Dog lovers, I was watching the Westminster Dog show tonight and just heard the marketing director of Pedigree make an announcement about their shelter dog campaign. They will be matching all donations made on their website Tonight 2/12 Monday and Tomorrow night Tuesday 2/13. I made my...

My opinion of the Cleveland Clinic has now been harshly tarnished. I hope they and their neurosurgeon pay very dearly for this awful, absolutely unnecessary travesty to life. I'm disgusted and dismayed. And to those who witnessed this canine execution (which really what it was) or profit from...

I'm kind of OK with xylitol in small amounts, but if you ingest large amounts it can cause diarrhea. Xylitol was invented for diabetics as a replacement for sugar (before we knew how to better control blood glucose with insulin), and dentists like it because it doesn't cause cavities, which is...

Hi Toaster, I also have a little black and tan mini Doxie, 4 years old. I've seen mine also hold up a hind leg every once in a while while on a walk or after he's jumped off a step. His is more like a skip now and again. I've also worried that something is wrong and then he just walks...

Thank you. This is what I've now come to believe, and my husband agrees. It could have saved me the stress from the initial shock of the bill and the embarrassment of getting upset and the guilt I now feel from being so upset over a tooth that probably needed to come out. It could have...

I'm a registered dietitian and received this in an e-mail from Today's Dietitian, thought I'd pass it on here to you. Sugar Substitute May Be Dangerous to Dogs While veterinarians have suspected that the sugar substitute xylitol can make dogs sick, there is now further clinical evidence of...

What's really funny is I called my dentist to make an appointment this morning for myself. I have insurance that covers cleaning and a check-up which includes x-rays. I asked what the charge would be if I didn't have insurance and she said it would be $130.00 for everything. The hygentist...

Thank you all for your thoughts on the subject. I'm starting to calm down a little and now understand that the vet probably did the right thing taking the tooth out. I would have never thought he'd need an extraction at only 4 years old tho. I would have preferred to have had the receptionist...

Yes, I guess I am more POed that she pulled the tooth without notifiying me first than the bill. But I'm still POed about the bill too because my husband is telling me "I told you so" but to tell you the truth I think my husband is feeling a little guilty and offered to pay the balance I...

You know, I did sign something but I didn't have my glasses on so I didn't take the time really scrutinize it, but I assumed it was a liability waver, since they were putting him under or they make me sign whenever I board them. What's a corgimom to do? I'm screwed one way or another and I...

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I have two dogs who are very loved and well cared for. They've gone to the same vet since I've had both (4 years for my doxie and 7 years for my corgi) Here's my problem, I'm pissed off at my vet who I've actually never met, just talked to over the phone. She's...
